Lost time is never found again. — Benjamin Franklin
One thing that human can't control or regain is time. The passed time never comes back, so Franklin is emphasizing that we should always use time wisely.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Emerson is saying that regardless of how great, powerful, or intelligent one is, without enthusiasm, one's potential can't be achieved. For example, even if Thomas Edison was a genius, if he had no enthusiasm for science, his discoveries would've never been found.
Love the sinner and hate the sin. (Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum.) — St. Augustine
St. Augustine tells us that rather than to hate the sinner, hate the sin. Since all humans are imperfect, hating the sinner can be a hypocricy. The important thing is to learn from the wrong deed and not repeat the wrong behavior.
